CDC: US swine flu cases jump to 91 in 10 states

Apr 29 11:23 AM US/Eastern


WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. now has 91 confirmed cases of the new swine flu in 10 states.
Dr. Richard Besser, the acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says thus far only five of those cases needed hospitalization, including a Mexican toddler who became the first death recorded in the U.S., in Texas.

The increase is not surprising. For days, CDC officials have said they expected to confirm more cases—and more severe illnesses—as they intensively hunt down this new virus.

Until now the government had known of outbreaks in just five states. But the new information shows cases in five more: Massachusetts, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Indiana.
